Please move search button back to bottom bar

I see this thread is here for 7+ Months and nothing seems to have changed.

This is the most annoying design choice of the current version (this and the fact that there login setups are also at the top of the screen).

I don't understand why is so hard to give us a search option at the bottom bar. I'd even he happy with one floating search icon on the bottom right corner like other apps have.

Can any meaningful update be given on this topic? It's very annoying having to use two hands to search for a login that 1password didn't recognize in the first place.

Also, when there was a Search button on the bottom bar, you could go to search from any screen (list, details, etc.). Now you have to back out from details view in order to be able to start search.

Also, now on the home screens there is search field aligned a bit to the left, on the items list search button in the top right corner and as mentioned nothing in the details view which is annoying. Previously button to initiate search was always in the same spot which was simple and good for muscle memory.

I've passed both of your comments along to the team internally, thank you!

Yes, please. Search is what I'm looking for 99% of the times I launch 1Password, and now it needs another intermediate step before I can search for something.

Looks like this has now been rolled out. In the bottom bar, you have left Watchtower which I guarantee is something people use very rarely compared to Search. 🤦 This is not a minor usability issue.

Yes, please do NOT move it to the top. It is very counter-productive because:

a) apps commonly have the search button at the bottom
b) it is impossible to use 1password now with 1 hand as you cannot reach the search box at the top
c) it is just so much simpler to double press the search icon at the bottom bar to open search and start typing query --> now you need to press back to get to front page as it is the ONLY place where search is or press home to get to home page as it is the ONLY place where search is
d) recommendation to use one-handed-mode in Android is just silly suggestion to fix issue in your app
e) there is no "persistent search bar in the mobile app for Android and iOS", it is only shown on the front page so why are you saying it is persistent 1P_Dave ?
f) there's is well enough space at the bottom to have the search button there, so why remove it in the first place?

Extremely bad design, please switch back to usable UX.

Before, I used to be able to double tap on a bottom portion of the screen, with one hand, and be able to search. Now it REQUIRES 2 hands, or moving into one-handed mode (if you have it) which takes much more time and effort.

Please being the quick search back!

1P_Dave the issue is not the bar itself - having it visible permanently makes sense. The issue is that before you could double-tap the Search button in the bottom bar to stick the cursor in the search bar which was incredibly useful when phones are so large nowadays. It's now incredibly cumbersome to navigate to the top bar.

Ideally, allowing the search bar to be put at the bottom of the screen would be the best option, as that's where all the main buttons are. But aside from that, any sort of bottom bar shortcut to focus the search bar would be most appreciated. E.g. hold and swipe up on home to "throw" the cursor to the top box.

Thanks
